What the texts say

In the Vishnu Purana, Vishnu assumes the form of Kalki at the end of the Kali Yuga, and the Lord sets the wicked back upon the path of righteousness. Vishnu Purana 3.2.59 The Skanda Purana says the Lord Kalki will arise in the tenth birth, or incarnation. Skanda Purana 5.3.151.27 The Bhagavata Purana tells that he will appear in the home of Vishnuyashas, the most eminent brahmin of Shambhala village. Bhagavatam 12.2.18 In the same Purana, Kalki will mount his swift horse Devadatta and, sword in hand, travel over the earth, killing by the millions the thieves who have dared dress as kings. Bhagavatam 12.2.19 Once he has appeared as the maintainer of religion, the Bhagavata Purana says, Satya-yuga will begin, and human society will bring forth children in the mode of goodness. Bhagavatam 12.2.23
